Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Feelgood news of the day. The village of Duck Run had solar lights donated by the Rotary Club of Copperas Cove.  They now have a safe, renewable source of light.  Thanks, Rotary!

"Solar lights for the Village of Duck Run were provided by the Rotary Club of Copperas Cove, Texas.  Duck Run is located Northeast of San Ignacio in the Cayo District of Belize.  These families were living without access to a safe source of light.  Children were studying by kerosene lamps and candles.  Kerosene lamps cause deaths and disfigurement due to burns. It also emits toxic fumes.  The Village of Duck Run is now lit by safe solar lights provided by the Rotary Club of Copperas Cove.  The Rotary Club of San Ignacio, Belize provided transpertation and assisted in the distribution.  Thank you to the Ministry of Rural Development for their assistance in making this day possible."
